Summary: an American classic
Review: this movie is a classic American film of a down an out baseball team that pulls together to become a great team. The movie also shows how the minor leagues of baseball can be a stopping ground on the way to major League stardome as in Nukes case or a long tough journey as in Crash's case. This movie is a good movie for almost anybody guys will like it for the baseball and girls will like it for the romance in it but overall this is a great movie

Summary: No Bull Here!
Review: An adult baseball movie with a love triangle to annoy some and to thrill others. Snappy dialogue, good characters (major and supporting) all with the science,philosphy, and religion of baseball in the foreground and background. The film that's one of Kevin Costner's signature roles as an intelligent, macho, aging baseball player is the highlight of the film, also bringing Tim Robbins into the forefront, and lastly, gave Susan Sarandon one of her final "sexy leading" performances. Good support performance from Robert Wuhl and from the game of baseball itself . Note: One interesting scene in the film... Kevin Costner's character, Crash Davis states (in one of his witty rants during one of the awkward "love triangle" scenes) "...I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone...!". A few years later, Kevin Costner plays Jim Garrison in JFK in which this character believes in the conspriracy theory of the John Kennedy assassination.

Summary: A Baseball Classic
Review: This film is the first in a long line of successful baseball films in which Kevin Costner plays the lead role. In this film, Costner stars as Crash Davis, a career minor league catcher who is signed by the Durham Bulls to tutor their new star pitcher Nuke LaLoosh, played by Tim Robbins. LaLoosh has a golden arm and a blazing fastball. The problem is he has no control. He ends up hitting the Bulls' mascot almost as many times as he manages to throw strikes. To complicate Davis' and Laloosh's relationship even further is sexy Annie Savoy, played by Susan Sarandon. She is a typical baseball groupie who latches on to one of the Bulls' players each season. The problem is that both Crash and Nuke are vying for her affections. Nuke ends up winning the affections of Annie and they start a torrid romance. However, Annie still has feelings for Crash. Meanwhile, Crash has managed to help tame some of the wildness that Nuke was experiencing, and he has become a better pitcher. The Bulls end up going on a long winning streak, and Nuke swears off sex during this time so as not to jinx the streak, thus leaving Annie very frustrated. As a result of his improved pitching, Nuke finally gets called up to the majors late in the season. I thought this was a fine film. Kevin Costner is the perfect baseball actor, as evidenced from some of his other baseball films such as "Field of Dreams" and "For Love of the Game". His performance as Crash is first rate. Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are good as well. The baseball scenes are well-done and the supporting actors do a good job. This movie does a good job of portraying baseball life in the minor leagues. There are no 50,000 seat stadiums or chartered airline flights for away games. These players play in front of hundreds, not thousands of fans at a time and they travel to out of town games on a bus and carry their own bags. Watch this excellent baseball film and discover the true magic that Kevin Costner possesses as a baseball actor. I also highly recommend "Field of Dreams" and "For Love of the Game". I think you'll enjoy all of them.

Summary: This is not a kid's baseball movie
Review: There are some baseball movies not for kids, and this is one of them. The movie stars Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbings. Susan Sarandon makes her appearance right in the beginning, Tim Robbins makes his about 5 minutes later, and Kevin Costner makes his about 15 minutes into the movie. As the movie opens, Susan Sarandon is talking about baseball stuff, and how she feels the only church that really fells the soul, is the church of baseball. Which leads to Rock around the clock perfromed by Bill Haley and the Comets. Which Max Patkin appears as himself dancing to the music on the baseball field. It is Ebby Calvin "Nuke" Laloosh's (Tim Robbins) debut. Which he makes wild throws, including hiting the mascot twice. While also walking and strking out 36 batters. Which is 18 for both walking and strking out batters. A minor league venteran catcher named Crush Davis (Kevin Costner) is called uip after the game. At first they fight. Which leads them to siting at a table at a bar together that catches baseball fan Annie Savoy's (Susan Sarandon) attention. She picks them as her two finalistest. Which one of them she will hook up with for the season. And even read books by authors to them if she and the player is alone. I also reccomented watching Field of Dreams along with this movie. My thoughts on Bull Durham: First let me point out that this movie is rated R. And yes this is a very rare baseball movie that is rated R. The other one (at least that I know of) is Major League. Most baseball movies gets a PG rating. I think the movie would have better of, if the speech Annie Savoy gives in the opening of the movie could have been cut. Maybe you know leave out some of the stuff. And what about the opening song, I don't know the name of it, but it only has only two words. And they are yes and yeah. Plus I will also have to say that you can watch this movie in either widscreen or full screen. Which is great because one it doesn't say on the cover of the dvd what it shown in (if there are a full screen and a widescreen edition of the same movie). If you are confused by widescreen ans what does it mean, on dvd it means "letterbox format".

Summary: The sexiest baseball, no sports, film ever
Review: Back when Kevin Costner made good films, this terrific one about America's two favorite pastimes and the people who love them came out. With an onscreen heat you can practically feel, the film just screams sexy. The minute the opening monologue begins, it's a fascinating and funny insight into human emotion, sex and of course, baseball. Susan Sarandon proves the older woman is eternally sexy with her baseball groupie Annie Savoy. It's not that she's easy, she just picks one player a year to 'mature'. This year there are two promising candidates. One is a fiesty, talented but inexperienced pitcher who is not that bright; the other a seasoned catcher brought in to straighten the rookie out. Ultimately she chooses Ebby Calvin 'Nuke' LaLoosh (Tim Robbins, brilliant as an idiot), the dim but wild (hence 'Nuke') pitcher. The love triangle takes a backseat to baseball but always remains in the foreground. As the film progresses, a winning streak leaves Annie without a man and she soon begins to regret her decision. Finally a wildly sexy and romantic fling with Crash (a volcanic Kevin Costner), the rugged catcher, arrives. While it is the film during which Susan fell for Tim and she shares extraordinary chemistry with both men, the real attraction on-screen is the slow seduction between Annie and Crash. The film is so hot, it usually takes a nice shower afterwards to cool off. Good for those winter nights when baseball isn't in season. And hey, any film that makes baseball this sexy can't be that bad.

Summary: 'Sometimes you win,sometimes you lose and sometimes it rains
Review: "Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes it rains." - Nuke
Would anybody care to discuss this quote with me? I think it's very interesting. It sort of emcompasses the baseball fanatic's thought process. Baseball is life, it rains today, so you play your game tomorrow. Or I could just be missing the point entirely. Someone please provide some insight.

Summary: A classic
Review: Funny and poignant. The only disappointment is hearing Robbins and Costner keep saying "you should have seen..." on the actor's narration without having any bloopers or alternate takes on the DVD.

Summary: A very unique DVD
Review: This special edition contains a Double layer DVD & a Single layer DVD, Most 2 disc sets contain the same thing, Exept this is only on 1 disc, "Amazing", I have always hated 2 sided DVD's, Knowing that they could have been just a 1 sided Double layer DVD,
But this is the first 2 sided DVD I have ever seen where 1 of the sides is in Double layer, & the actual disc is just as thick as any normal DVD,
Finally a way to fit 6 hrs of footage material on 1 disc,
I hope other companys start making regular 2 disc sets into a 1 disc set, Here is a list of 2 disc sets that can have the same thing done & provide you with more convenient packaging, Star Trek directors edition
Harry Potter & the sorcerors stone
Monty Python & the Holy Grail (S.E.)
Greatest Story ever told
Simpsons, season 1, discs 2 & 3 (making a 2 disc set), Double layer discs can hold 4 hrs of footage, Single layers can only hold 2 hrs,
& this is the first time where they are both on 1 disc,
I don't think there can be a disc with 2 double layer sides,
It would just be too thick, But for some reason, this 2 sided disc with a single layer & a double lyer isn't that thick, This is an awesome breakthrough that I hope will be used more in the future, Then 2 disc sets can hold 12 entire hrs. of footage,

Summary: the carnival that is baseball
Review: Bull Durham is a near-perfect baseball film. Although I feel it lacks some of the wonder of Costner's field of dreams, there are few films that can match Bull Durham's honest, sometimes gritty but always hilarious look into the carnival that surrounds the national pastime. What particularly special about Bull Durham are the excellent performances given by the lead actors as well as the supporting cast. Director Ron Shelton couldn't have asked for better performances from his three lead actors. This movie was made back when Costner could still carry a film. He is in the height of his "everyman" powers here. His portrayal of aging minor league slugger Crash Davis is one for the ages. Susan Sarandon smolders yet somehow manages to retain a certain kind of innocence as the groupie-slash-mentor Annie Savoy. Tim Robbins is outstanding as the hotheaded and somewhat mentally challenged rookie pitcher Nuke Laloosh. The highlights of the supporting cast are Trey Wilson and Robert Wuhl. They play the manager and pitching coach. Wilson is a pure scene stealer in this movie. He provides some of the movie's greatest lines and tenderest moments. Wuhl is the master of the obvious in his cool, almost straight-man delivery. Bull Durham, like baseball, is about so much more than baseball. Along the way we are invited to think about both the inane and the deeper issues of life. Annie struggles for meaning, Nuke come of age and even Crash's cynical heart softens a bit. All of the things listed above, as well as the fact that it is a darn good movie earn Bull Durham my hearty recommendation.
